Well, I always rated Paddy when he was at Batley in shortish spells down the slope he was a handful, certainly.
But IIRC wasn't he the player who'd had some sort of illness & weight loss last season ? If that is him, maybe he'll take some time to get back to what he was as a player previously, who knows ?
As a front rower in my playing days he's the sort of player on his Batley form that i'd have liked to have played in a team with rather than against.
Good luck to him whatever he does next in his career either at 'Fax or elsewhere, I trust rhino didn't bring him just for the ride and thought he'd be of value to our squad.
Looked terrible for us in 2011 and was a surprise when Harrison took him to Halifax. It was 'claimed' during the close season prior to that 2011 that he'd been suffering from an 'eye condition' that was being remedied by a course of medication that caused, quote; 'water retention' - explaining his heavily bloated appearance. Whether or not there was any substance to that story, he never got fit in 2011 and looked a pale shadow of his 2010 vintage all season.
